This cottage is up there with the best we have ever stayed in. It is very well equipped and the welcome pack was amazing. A real home from home.

The house is a dream and so many different things in the kitchen were already there. A real surprise when we arrived!
Above all a real nice house next to the owners.

What a little gem. We had a wonderful long weekend at this delightful cottage along with our little chihuahua Tillie. It was immaculate and so very comfortable, with everything you could possibly need and more. Our hosts had thought of everything including a towel and some treats for Tillie. The welcome treats for us were possibly the best we have ever experienced and very welcome.
The log burner was a real delight and made it very cosy.
The information pack we received from our hosts before we arrived was extremely thoughtful.
All in all, a very lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings.
We will definitely return but hopefully for a longer stay next time

Great cottage, very well equiped, the owners have provided everything you're likely to need for your stay. Adjacent to a farm with stables so some sound of horses etc but this didn't spoil our holiday. Warm welcome from the owners together with a very generous welcome pack. Overall we're happy to recommend this cottage.

This cottage has everything that you could possibly need. We all really enjoyed our time there. The location was great as you were not too far from shopping areas, beaches or places of interest. The cottage itself was superb - it was so comfortable. Mark and Amanda have supplied everything you could possibly need for your stay. The design of the property allowed each member of the family, at the same time, me time. The kitchen is well stocked for all your needs, the living room is really comfortable with the log burner (if you need it). Every room itself just worked and made us all feel comfortable. The bedrooms upstairs was well set out with adequate storage space. The bathroom was great and had the fantastic addition of the power shower. I cannot praise this property enough. We all came away feeling at peace with ourselves. We will return to this wonderful cottage, - Thank you Mark and Amanda

Best place to stay ever! This cottage has all the comforts of home, is well built and decorated and has every amenity you might need for a short stay on vacation. Lots of different areas in the home to relax and a pretty private garden as well. The hosts are very nice and helpful as well.
If you do not like roosters or horses this may not be the cottage for you, however I found it charming and homely.
